The NHS is funded in many ways. The Road Traffic Act of 1988 requires
the driver of a vehicle involved in a road traffic accident to pay the first
qualified medical practitioner who administers care a fee (currently £21.30) for attending each person involved in the accident.

The attendance fee is due from the driver of the vehicle even if they are not the injured person. This is actually a private consultation and is not covered by the NHS.

The fee is usually refundable from your car insurance company at no cost to yourself. It does not affect your no-claims bonus.
